🎯 Tips & Tricks
Make sure you have BepInEx installed, as most Valheim mods require it to run.
Place your kilns and smelters near a storage chest or a pile of ore/wood to get the most out of the auto-pull feature.
If you're using other mods that affect container behavior, test Auto Fuel in a small setup first to avoid conflicts.

⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Installing multiple mods that modify the same files without checking compatibility
👍 Pros
- Huge community trust: 4,886 endorsements and 222k downloads show this mod is a staple for many players.
- Saves you from the tedious back-and-forth of manually feeding kilns and smelters—just drop ore and wood nearby and it does the rest.
- Simple concept, but it removes one of the most annoying chores in Valheim's mid-game.
👎 Cons
- Last updated in February 2025—if the game has had major patches since then, it might be broken or need an update.
- No detailed description of how it handles edge cases like multiple containers or priority—you'll have to test it in your own setup.
- Pulls from the ground and containers, but you might need to manage your storage carefully to avoid it grabbing resources you didn't intend.
